Rice Crisis Looms Once More

MANILA — Anakpawis Representative Rafael Mariano today said that a looming rice crisis is “a real problem” that cannot be addressed by palliative and short-term solutions but by “real solutions.”

Mariano issued the statement after the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (Nica) said that “one of the possible flash points being watched by the local intelligence community was the supply and prices of rice worldwide.”
